I'm writing in response to the suspension notice dated May 17, 2026, which cites a violation of Etsy Handmade Policy §3.2(b). I respectfully dispute this determination and provide the supporting evidence on file with my account.
The listing “vintage style brass frame · 5×7” sources from Hartwell Foundry, NC, a verified small workshop. Invoice INV‑8842 (uploaded Mar 4, 2026) and the partner certification on file confirm handmade origin under Etsy's stated criteria.
Revenue, best‑sellers, and seasonal timing across both.
